Senior Vice President Yukon Learning

In
2012, IDEXX Laboratories, like many organizations, made the decision to migrate
an existing library of desktop-based courses to mobile delivery. While clearly
possible, it takes effort, time, and resources, as well as selecting the best
tools for the task.

Participants
in this session will see how IDEXX Laboratories and its eLearning partner, Yukon
Learning, teamed up to handle the migration effort of existing courses
developed for the desktop to be accessible via mobile devices. From evaluating existing
courseware to developing mobile deployment best practices and virtual collaboration,
you will learn how the migration process evolved and the results it has produced.
You’ll discuss the challenges faced, including utilizing first-generation technology
with the application of Articulate Storyline, and how those challenges were
overcome along the way.

In this session, you will learn:

The challenges when converting courses for mobile delivery

How a standardized production process speeds migration

Unique challenges in specific legacy courses

Best practices for design, efficiency, and consistent results

Audience:For
those interested in content-management approaches for mobile learning.
